How did you develop your interest in fashion? We don’t get much African fashion in Europe, so is it difficult to work in fashion there and what generally people look for to be glamourous?
I loved fashion since I was a kid, but no one realised it at first. Then when I grew up I started mixing a lot of colours in my way of dressing, according to my moods. At the young age of 21 I finally met with designers like Kirette Couture who made me realise this is my passion and I should bring it to life, so that was how it started. Fashion in my country is not so well known, and African fashion in general is know by few because we are still climbing the ladder of the tower of fashion.
-Yvonne,i loved fashion from birth and i do help people out to design their outfits for occational bases,i do style peoples hair and give them ideas on how to go about their looks for occations.When i met Reneta for the first time,i spoke to her about my interest for fashion so she decided to let me in.She told me we could do things together as partners and so we started with the name for the brand.
What people look for in African fashion is the way the fashion designers bring out their style and designs. They generally like styles which are out of the ordinary, but it should be chic and really wearable.

Can you tell us a little about Afroshic clothing, the designers, the style and what is peculiar about it? What kind of woman wears Afroshic clothing?
Afroshic is a young fashion line, created by Reneta Ndisang and Efon Yvonne. The “S” in the name Afroshic means the sexy, sassy and sensational look typical of the brand. Afroshic makes every woman simple in her style but at the same time a little out of the ordinary. What is peculiar about the brand are the colours and the fact that we use the ankara or African fabric and blend with other fabrics to bring out it’s unique style wearable everyday.
